The generalized heat equation is given by

1.1

where Δxf(x) = f″(x) + (2v/x)f′(x), v a fixed positive number. In a recent paper (5), the author established criteria for representing solutions of (1.1) in either the form

1.2

or

1.3

where Pn,v(x, t) is t he polynomial solution of (1.1) given explicitly by

1.4

and Wn,v(x, t) is its Appell transform; cf. (1). Our object is to generalize these results by extending them to higher dimensions. D. V. Widder (8) studied the problem for the ordinary heat equation.
